Last night was the first of two shows scheduled at the venue, and it showcased his distinctive R&B sound - but not only that, a tour which has been entirely constructed to represent Abel as the Starboy that he is.

Interview: alt-J's Gus Unger-Hamilton on their new album, 'Relaxer'.

After touring had ended for their second album, ‘This Is All Yours’, alt-J found themselves taking breaks from their typical musical process of going back into writing and recording straight away - instead each of them exploring their own interests outside music.
